Arigatou!

Japan is a great country to visit. On the first day, we received a very warm welcome from KGU students and professors. I met my penpal Erina and many other KGU students and we soon became friends. They introduced and accompanied us to go to many places. We got to try an array of Japanese foods such as ramen and Takoyaki.
I was surpirsed by the people and services I have experienced in Japan. The public transportation system is so convenient that we can go anywhere using trains. On the 4th day, I left my phone in a bathroom. If it was in Arizona, I most likely would have lost it. But thanks to Tomomi-san and the staff in the mall, I got my phone back.
Today we learned about kampo medicine and visited a kampo pharmacy. I took herbal formulations when I was little and I have always wanted to learn more about it. The lecture today gave us some basic knowledge about diagnosis and treatment in herbal medicine. It is very different from western medicine.
I am glad that I participated in this trip. I am looking forward to exploring more in Japan!
